    Robertson stayed true to his objective and only shows slight bias. An unfair representation of the Native Americans was conveyed when Robertson called the Indians savages. Yet, he supported his claim by illustrating the Indian’s savage behaviors later in the text. While displaying the Indian’s savage behavior, he did not thoroughly examine their culture; and therefore, showed slight bias in his work. However, it does not diminish Robertson’s overall objectivity.…

    The world has viewed Native Americans in a harmful negative way, by thinking that they are alcoholics who don't deserve to being educated, known to drop out of school, and do not try to find a balance in life.

    Stereotypes have always plagued the American Indians. Whether it be as bloodthirsty savages or as “The Noble Re Man” who lives in peace and harmony. Although they are portrayed as many things that they are not, the dominant group uses their likeness to advertise sports teams and to even sell cars. The American Indians have not benefited from any of this.…

    What I have learned about American Indian Studies is that the amount of intelligence my ancestral forefathers’ had, has gone, and still goes unnoticed by the majority of the citizens of America. That American Indian History is a hush, hush subject of education that many times in my schooling, was overlooked. I was only taught about Natives when the history teacher was speaking of the ‘spectacular’ discovery by Christopher Columbus and that was it. I never knew that Indians across the nation suffer from similar health problems, including diabetes and high blood pressure or that Native Indians dietary habits changed dramatically because of the government issued food, which would cause many of these problems. Which leads up to my first theme of this essay; Native American Indian…

    Have you ever thought about what it was like in Indian society before the coming of Christopher Columbus? In the history writing, “Coming of Age in the Dawnland,” (1941) by Charles C. Mann, Mann’s purpose was to inform about the common misunderstanding in society of the Native people being savages, so he wants to persuade his audience of how the Native people and the early European settlers were not very different in their lifestyles. I believe that Mann did very well in achieving his purpose for this writing because his style and the content was very strong and persuasive, and there is lots of textual evidence to prove that his content and style was strong and persuasive.…

    One of the major “selling points” for mistreatment and the removal of Native Americans was that they were a alien like people who were uncivilized and simple. The dislike for the Native Americans was apparent well before the Indian Removal Act, many presidents before Jackson had talked of the importance of europeanizing the Native Americans. Settlers came to know this as the “Indian Problem,” and their solution for this “problem” was to civilize the Natives by teaching them european ways including, conversion to christianity, teaching them english, western farming and western gender roles. In relation to the Indian Removal Act, the “Indian Problem” was still just merely an excuse for settlers to remove Natives from land that they wanted. Around…

    American Indian Movement

    Native Americans have felt distress from societal and governmental interactions for hundreds of years. American Indian protests against these pressures date back to the colonial period. Broken treaties, removal policies, acculturation, and assimilation have scarred the indigenous societies of the United States. These policies and the continued oppression of the native communities produced an atmosphere of heightened tension. Governmental pressure for assimilation and their apparent aim to destroy cultures, communities, and identities through policies gave the native people a reason to fight. The unanticipated consequence was the subsequent creation of a pan-American Indian identity of the 1960s. These factors combined with poverty, racism, and prolonged discrimination fueled a resentment that had been present in Indian communities for many years. In 1968, the formation of the American Indian Movement took place to tackle the situation and position of Native Americans in society. This movement gave way to a series of radical protests, which were designed to draw awareness to the concerns of American Indians and to compel the federal government to act on their behalf. The movement's major events were the occupation of Alcatraz, Mount Rushmore, The Trail of Broken Treaties, and Wounded Knee II. These AIM efforts in the 1960s and 1970s era of protest contained many sociological theories that helped and hindered the Native Americans success. The Governments continued repression of the Native Americans assisted in the more radicalized approach of the American Indian Movement. Radical tactics combined with media attention stained the AIM and their effectiveness. Native militancy became a repertoire of action along with adopted strategies from the Civil Rights Movement. In this essay, I will explain the formation of AIM and their major events, while revealing that this identity based social movement's…

    “Chief Seattle’s 1854 Oration” was very powerful. He elaborated in great details the difference between his people (Indians) and the Whites and how they can come together. He was a respectful tribal leader and a devoted ecologist. Throughout his speech, Chief Seattle emphasizes how passionate he was in regard to his ancestor’s land. “Every part of this earth is sacred to my people.” His use of diction, persuasive appeals of pathos, logos, figurative imagery, analogies and anecdotes help in his persuading the white man in a peaceful but emotional speech.…

    The age of television quickly turned things around for the advertisers. Television offered faulty perceptions of Native Americans held by a viewing public that grew up on The Lone Ranger and westerns that featured John Wayne. Traditional cinematic productions offered up the Native American as the enemy, a laconic or bloodthirsty impediment in the race to the frontier. As political correctness began to dominate the industry, movies like Dances With Wolves (1990) and Pow Wow Highway (1989) did their best to humanize Indians, but they were limited in scope and too few in nature. Television is directly responsible for the social and emotional malaise that affects and shapes the minds and definitions of the masses. Television is the only thing that keeps us vaguely in democracy even if it's in the hands of the corporate culture, because it can level the playing field. Not only can it level the playing field but it can also stack the deck against society. Because the media…
